[dataquery] Add Category terminology fix

Open adamdaudrich opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

In the Add Criteria modal window, it says Field above the Select a Category list, which is next to the Select a Field .


Let's break the UX of this down:

The user, who is looking to add a filter to their query (for example "give me the BMI of all people age 50+) has, at this moment in time:

  • clicked Add Condition to get to this modal window.
  • is now looking at Add Criteria (NOT Add Condition) and by that I mean this may make the user feel like they are in the wrong window.
  • They are now prompted to select a Category (which, by the presence of the blue word Field above it, could be, at that moment, both a Category and/or a Field, also a potential point of confusion
  • then over to the right, where it the blue word Field is NOT, the user is asked to select a ... yes...Field.

Possible clarification

I think the intention here was:

  • Select a category
  • Select a field

And then, after these are selected, then Add Filter, the fields of which pop up after you pick category and field, which is somewhat awkward - why are they hidden? What is the intention of them being hidden ?

Simple fix possibility :

maybe just remove the blue word Field
